The Dirty 30s Series 7 is Recording King's take on the Depression-era parlor guitars you'd find in a mail-order catalog, the kind that turned up on porches and in juke joints and somehow sounded great anyway. This new version was redesigned by the team at St. Louis Music with better wood selection, inlays and bracing, while keeping the price where a first guitar or a couch guitar should be.
The small Single 0 body with a spruce top and mahogany back and sides gives it a dry, woody, midrange-forward voice that's made for fingerpicked blues, slide and old-time tunes. The neck joins the body at the 12th fret, which pushes the bridge toward the center of the lower bout for a little more punch and puts everything within easy reach. Finished in a satin Vintage Burst with ivory binding, it looks the part too. Every guitar we sell goes through our shop, and our techs are happy to set it up the way you like it.
